2 # USB Gadget support on a system involves
3 # (a) a peripheral controller, and
4 # (b) the gadget driver using it.
6 # NOTE: Gadget support ** DOES NOT ** depend on host-side CONFIG_USB !!
8 # - Host systems (like PCs) need CONFIG_USB (with "A" jacks).
9 # - Peripherals (like PDAs) need CONFIG_USB_GADGET (with "B" jacks).
10 # - Some systems have both kinds of of controller.
12 # With help from a special transceiver and a "Mini-AB" jack, systems with
13 # both kinds of controller can also support "USB On-the-Go" (CONFIG_USB_OTG).

18 tristate "Support for USB Gadgets"
20 USB is a master/slave protocol, organized with one master
21 host (such as a PC) controlling up to 127 peripheral devices.
22 The USB hardware is asymmetric, which makes it easier to set up:
23 you can't connect a "to-the-host" connector to a peripheral.
25 Linux can run in the host, or in the peripheral. In both cases
26 you need a low level bus controller driver, and some software
27 talking to it. Peripheral controllers are often discrete silicon,
28 or are integrated with the CPU in a microcontroller. The more
29 familiar host side controllers have names like like "EHCI", "OHCI",
30 or "UHCI", and are usually integrated into southbridges on PC
33 Enable this configuration option if you want to run Linux inside
34 a USB peripheral device. Configure one hardware driver for your
35 peripheral/device side bus controller, and a "gadget driver" for
36 your peripheral protocol. (If you use modular gadget drivers,
37 you may configure more than one.)
39 If in doubt, say "N" and don't enable these drivers; most people
40 don't have this kind of hardware (except maybe inside Linux PDAs).
42 For more information, see <http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget> and
43 the kernel DocBook documentation for this API.
45 config USB_GADGET_DEBUG_FILES
46 boolean "Debugging information files"
47 depends on USB_GADGET && PROC_FS
49 Some of the drivers in the "gadget" framework can expose
50 debugging information in files such as /proc/driver/udc
51 (for a peripheral controller). The information in these
52 files may help when you're troubleshooting or bringing up a
53 driver on a new board. Enable these files by choosing "Y"
54 here. If in doubt, or to conserve kernel memory, say "N".
57 # USB Peripheral Controller Support
60 prompt "USB Peripheral Controller"
63 A USB device uses a controller to talk to its host.
64 Systems should have only one such upstream link.
65 Many controller drivers are platform-specific; these
66 often need board-specific hooks.
68 config USB_GADGET_NET2280
69 boolean "NetChip 2280"
71 select USB_GADGET_DUALSPEED
73 NetChip 2280 is a PCI based USB peripheral controller which
74 supports both full and high speed USB 2.0 data transfers.
76 It has six configurable endpoints, as well as endpoint zero
77 (for control transfers) and several endpoints with dedicated
80 Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
81 dynamically linked module called "net2280" and force all
82 gadget drivers to also be dynamically linked.
86 depends on USB_GADGET_NET2280
89 config USB_GADGET_PXA2XX
90 boolean "PXA 25x or IXP 4xx"
91 depends on (ARCH_PXA && PXA25x) || ARCH_IXP4XX
93 Intel's PXA 25x series XScale ARM-5TE processors include
94 an integrated full speed USB 1.1 device controller. The
95 controller in the IXP 4xx series is register-compatible.
97 It has fifteen fixed-function endpoints, as well as endpoint
98 zero (for control transfers).
100 Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
101 dynamically linked module called "pxa2xx_udc" and force all
102 gadget drivers to also be dynamically linked.
106 depends on USB_GADGET_PXA2XX
109 # if there's only one gadget driver, using only two bulk endpoints,
110 # don't waste memory for the other endpoints
111 config USB_PXA2XX_SMALL
112 depends on USB_GADGET_PXA2XX
114 default n if USB_ETH_RNDIS
115 default y if USB_ZERO
117 default y if USB_G_SERIAL
119 config USB_GADGET_GOKU
120 boolean "Toshiba TC86C001 'Goku-S'"
123 The Toshiba TC86C001 is a PCI device which includes controllers
124 for full speed USB devices, IDE, I2C, SIO, plus a USB host (OHCI).
126 The device controller has three configurable (bulk or interrupt)
127 endpoints, plus endpoint zero (for control transfers).
129 Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
130 dynamically linked module called "goku_udc" and to force all
131 gadget drivers to also be dynamically linked.
135 depends on USB_GADGET_GOKU
139 config USB_GADGET_LH7A40X
141 depends on ARCH_LH7A40X
143 This driver provides USB Device Controller driver for LH7A40x
147 depends on USB_GADGET_LH7A40X
151 config USB_GADGET_OMAP
152 boolean "OMAP USB Device Controller"
154 select ISP1301_OMAP if MACH_OMAP_H2 || MACH_OMAP_H3
156 Many Texas Instruments OMAP processors have flexible full
157 speed USB device controllers, with support for up to 30
158 endpoints (plus endpoint zero). This driver supports the
159 controller in the OMAP 1611, and should work with controllers
160 in other OMAP processors too, given minor tweaks.
162 Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
163 dynamically linked module called "omap_udc" and force all
164 gadget drivers to also be dynamically linked.
168 depends on USB_GADGET_OMAP
172 boolean "OTG Support"
173 depends on USB_GADGET_OMAP && ARCH_OMAP_OTG && USB_OHCI_HCD
175 The most notable feature of USB OTG is support for a
176 "Dual-Role" device, which can act as either a device
177 or a host. The initial role choice can be changed
178 later, when two dual-role devices talk to each other.
180 Select this only if your OMAP board has a Mini-AB connector.
183 config USB_GADGET_DUMMY_HCD
184 boolean "Dummy HCD (DEVELOPMENT)"
185 depends on USB && EXPERIMENTAL
186 select USB_GADGET_DUALSPEED
188 This host controller driver emulates USB, looping all data transfer
189 requests back to a USB "gadget driver" in the same host. The host
190 side is the master; the gadget side is the slave. Gadget drivers
191 can be high, full, or low speed; and they have access to endpoints
192 like those from NET2280, PXA2xx, or SA1100 hardware.
194 This may help in some stages of creating a driver to embed in a
195 Linux device, since it lets you debug several parts of the gadget
196 driver without its hardware or drivers being involved.
198 Since such a gadget side driver needs to interoperate with a host
199 side Linux-USB device driver, this may help to debug both sides
200 of a USB protocol stack.
202 Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
203 dynamically linked module called "dummy_hcd" and force all
204 gadget drivers to also be dynamically linked.
208 depends on USB_GADGET_DUMMY_HCD
211 # NOTE: Please keep dummy_hcd LAST so that "real hardware" appears
212 # first and will be selected by default.
216 config USB_GADGET_DUALSPEED
218 depends on USB_GADGET
221 Means that gadget drivers should include extra descriptors
222 and code to handle dual-speed controllers.
228 tristate "USB Gadget Drivers"
229 depends on USB_GADGET
232 A Linux "Gadget Driver" talks to the USB Peripheral Controller
233 driver through the abstract "gadget" API. Some other operating
234 systems call these "client" drivers, of which "class drivers"
235 are a subset (implementing a USB device class specification).
236 A gadget driver implements one or more USB functions using
237 the peripheral hardware.
239 Gadget drivers are hardware-neutral, or "platform independent",
240 except that they sometimes must understand quirks or limitations
241 of the particular controllers they work with. For example, when
242 a controller doesn't support alternate configurations or provide
243 enough of the right types of endpoints, the gadget driver might
244 not be able work with that controller, or might need to implement
245 a less common variant of a device class protocol.
247 # this first set of drivers all depend on bulk-capable hardware.
250 tristate "Gadget Zero (DEVELOPMENT)"
251 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
253 Gadget Zero is a two-configuration device. It either sinks and
254 sources bulk data; or it loops back a configurable number of
255 transfers. It also implements control requests, for "chapter 9"
256 conformance. The driver needs only two bulk-capable endpoints, so
257 it can work on top of most device-side usb controllers. It's
258 useful for testing, and is also a working example showing how
259 USB "gadget drivers" can be written.
261 Make this be the first driver you try using on top of any new
262 USB peripheral controller driver. Then you can use host-side
263 test software, like the "usbtest" driver, to put your hardware
264 and its driver through a basic set of functional tests.
266 Gadget Zero also works with the host-side "usb-skeleton" driver,
267 and with many kinds of host-side test software. You may need
268 to tweak product and vendor IDs before host software knows about
269 this device, and arrange to select an appropriate configuration.
271 Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
272 dynamically linked module called "g_zero".
274 config USB_ZERO_HNPTEST
275 boolean "HNP Test Device"
276 depends on USB_ZERO && USB_OTG
278 You can configure this device to enumerate using the device
279 identifiers of the USB-OTG test device. That means that when
280 this gadget connects to another OTG device, with this one using
281 the "B-Peripheral" role, that device will use HNP to let this
282 one serve as the USB host instead (in the "B-Host" role).
285 tristate "Ethernet Gadget (with CDC Ethernet support)"
288 This driver implements Ethernet style communication, in either
291 - The "Communication Device Class" (CDC) Ethernet Control Model.
292 That protocol is often avoided with pure Ethernet adapters, in
293 favor of simpler vendor-specific hardware, but is widely
294 supported by firmware for smart network devices.
296 - On hardware can't implement that protocol, a simple CDC subset
297 is used, placing fewer demands on USB.
299 RNDIS support is a third option, more demanding than that subset.
301 Within the USB device, this gadget driver exposes a network device
302 "usbX", where X depends on what other networking devices you have.
303 Treat it like a two-node Ethernet link: host, and gadget.
305 The Linux-USB host-side "usbnet" driver interoperates with this
306 driver, so that deep I/O queues can be supported. On 2.4 kernels,
307 use "CDCEther" instead, if you're using the CDC option. That CDC
308 mode should also interoperate with standard CDC Ethernet class
309 drivers on other host operating systems.
311 Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
312 dynamically linked module called "g_ether".
315 bool "RNDIS support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
316 depends on USB_ETH && EXPERIMENTAL
319 Microsoft Windows XP bundles the "Remote NDIS" (RNDIS) protocol,
320 and Microsoft provides redistributable binary RNDIS drivers for
321 older versions of Windows.
323 If you say "y" here, the Ethernet gadget driver will try to provide
324 a second device configuration, supporting RNDIS to talk to such
327 To make MS-Windows work with this, use Documentation/usb/linux.inf
328 as the "driver info file". For versions of MS-Windows older than
329 XP, you'll need to download drivers from Microsoft's website; a URL
330 is given in comments found in that info file.
333 tristate "Gadget Filesystem (EXPERIMENTAL)"
334 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
336 This driver provides a filesystem based API that lets user mode
337 programs implement a single-configuration USB device, including
338 endpoint I/O and control requests that don't relate to enumeration.
339 All endpoints, transfer speeds, and transfer types supported by
340 the hardware are available, through read() and write() calls.
342 Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
343 dynamically linked module called "gadgetfs".
345 config USB_FILE_STORAGE
346 tristate "File-backed Storage Gadget"
348 The File-backed Storage Gadget acts as a USB Mass Storage
349 disk drive. As its storage repository it can use a regular
350 file or a block device (in much the same way as the "loop"
351 device driver), specified as a module parameter.
353 Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
354 dynamically linked module called "g_file_storage".
356 config USB_FILE_STORAGE_TEST
357 bool "File-backed Storage Gadget testing version"
358 depends on USB_FILE_STORAGE
361 Say "y" to generate the larger testing version of the
362 File-backed Storage Gadget, useful for probing the
363 behavior of USB Mass Storage hosts. Not needed for
367 tristate "Serial Gadget (with CDC ACM support)"
369 The Serial Gadget talks to the Linux-USB generic serial driver.
370 This driver supports a CDC-ACM module option, which can be used
371 to interoperate with MS-Windows hosts or with the Linux-USB
374 Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
375 dynamically linked module called "g_serial".
377 For more information, see Documentation/usb/gadget_serial.txt
378 which includes instructions and a "driver info file" needed to
379 make MS-Windows work with this driver.
